nor anything which the United States
authorities could consider justiffable, con-
sistent with their action laet year. The
seizures had probably taken place under
a misrepresentation or for some
reason OF which the Government
had not heard. He did not
consider that they were in any way in
tended as retaliation for seizures on tho
Atlantic coast. The circumstances wers-
not in the least parallel as on the Allan
tic coast seizures only took place within the
three mile limits, and retaliation OF thst
kind would be more OF an act inviting war
fare policy. The United States inherited
no rights over the fisheries from Russia At
the time of the tralsfer. because Russia her
self had none and he thought the American
Government would make reparation when
the circumstances were fully explained. He
did not think any difficulty would arise out
of the matter, and had every confidence
that the United States Government would
make full reparation on q showing that
they had cause for 80 doing. He did not
anticipate the least difficulty in the Red

Rowland, chairman OF the Civil Service
Board, examined for the Cincinnati post
office, wrote letter to Acting President
Oberly, of the Civil Service Commission,
under date of August goth, making In.
quries about the construction OF the civil
service rules, in which, among other things.
he says: Are we to understand that tho
postmaster may, without iuQuisition, re-
move a carrier save for the causes euumer-
ated by you in your report on the Phi!ar
delphia postofice case?" In reply, Mr..
Oherlv says: "that every carrier and clerk

LEGALLY REMOVED FOR CAUSE
is the proposition on which you need no
information. It is, therefore, concluded
that YOU wish to know whether in the
opinion of the Commission, efficient
carriers and clerks may be legally removed
for partisan reasons, because they do not
agree in politics with the postmaster. The
Commission has stated and now repeats
that the power of removal is restricted,
except that the removal may not be legally
made for anyone of the following causes:
First. because a person IN service mas
refused to contribute to political pur-
poses.
Second, because person has refused to
render political services.
Third, because person has refused to
permit the appointing officer or any other
person in the Civil Service to choics
his political action"
AFTER QUOTING THE CIVIL SERVICE ACT
Tbe law, fairly Ies55s ss''$
entrance to classified civil service shall he
upon the merits of the applicant, without
regard to political opinions or aftiliatlon,
and that the continuance in the service
shall be upon the employees merit, With
out regard to political opinions or afhlla-
ton. Therefore, the appointing ohcer
who appoints or advises to appoint tho
applicant because the applicant does or
does not entertain political opinions vio-
| lates the law. ard an appointing omcer VINO
removes the employe because the en-
Move refuses to render political service in
accordauce with the wishes OF the appoint

partisan of the appointing officer, violates

ENTERTAINING THESE VIEWS,
the Commissioner replied to your question
bv saving that in the opinion OF the Com
mission the Postmaster at Cincinnati can
not lawfully remove any carrier orclerk Tor
the reason that the carrier or clerk belongs

master is opposed; that he can lawfully re.

reason than of the employees poiltlcai
